Flywire Corporation (Flywire) and Discover announced a new partnership that provides students and schools around the world with digital options for education payments. For the first time, students and their families will be able to use their Discover, Diners Club International and network alliance cards to pay tuition and fees at thousands of education institutions around the world that offer Flywire for international education payments. As the cost of tuition continues to rise, and more education institutions compete for international students, schools are trying to modernize their systems and provide a better payment experience.

The partnership between Flywire and Discover solves both sides of the payment equation, providing students and families the ability to pay in their preferred method, while driving operational efficiencies for the institutions receiving payments. Initially, the program will be available to Discover Global Network Cardholders in seven countries paying in six different currencies: Columbia (COP), Ecuador (USD), India (INR), Japan (JPY), Korea (KRW), Peru (PEN) and the United States (USD). These countries represent growing markets for students studying abroad and Discover Global Network cards are a popular payment option in each of them.
